"Did you see the look on her face?" Nathan told Haley in the kitchen a couple of hours later. " She hates me."

"Nathan," said Haley. " She doesn't hate you. It's just that last time she saw you . . . Were kind of . . . An ass."

"It's not my fault! We were 14! I hated Lucas!" he exclaimed.

"Keep your voice down!" Haley whispered. "I thought we were trying to be discreet."

"About what? Everybody knows we were married. What else is there to hide? We're just friends now. Not husband and wife." Nathan growled.

Haley looked hurt. "Well . . .if you put it that way . . . I gotta go." she said quietly. And she walked out leaving Nathan by himself.

When she left he realized what he had done.

"God! You are such an idiot! You screwed up again." he said getting mad at himself.

Meanwhile Marissa was talking to Peyton and in the middle of the conversation said. "I've gotta go."

"What? Why? This party is for you guys." Peyton said.

"Uh, I gotta do something. Could you tell Haley I'll talk to her later?" Marissa asked.

Peyton nodded . "Sure."

"Thanks, see you later." Marissa turned around looking for Summer.

"Hey, Sum?" she said when she found her talking to Lucas and Seth.

Summer turned around. "Yeah?"

"I'll call you later." she told her quietly.

Summer knew what she meant. "Okay, fine."

Marissa smiled and turned around and walked out.

Nathan walked over to Lucas.

"Uh, man I gotta go."

Lucas was confused. " Are you sure? Haley was really happy when you came."

Nathan looked down. "Yeah I know. But I've got to."

"Okay, well I'll tell her you had to go."

Nathan walked to the door. "Thanks man."

Brooke saw Nathan leave. "Where the hell is Nathan going? People are leaving? I saw Marissa leaving too!"

Seth looked at Summer. "Marissa left too?"

"She left?" Lucas asked.

Summer looked at her cup. "Yeah, I'm going to go talk to Peyton and Ryan."

Outside Marissa was beginning to walk back towards the house.

"I can't believe Haley got married to Nathan. What the he-"

"Marissa!"

She gasped and turned back. "You scared me!" she said.

Then she saw who it was.

It was Nathan.

"Nathan? What are you doing?" she asked as hurried to catch up with her.

"You know . . . Catch up. See what you been up to."

Marissa stared blankly at him then busted out. "See what I've been up to? How about you telling me what you've been up to! You didn't have the courtesy to tell me that you married Haley? All those times we've been writing, calling, even IM'ing each other you couldn't bring up the fact that you got married? She was my friend! And I couldn't even tell her that I was friends with you ! And you couldn't tell me?"

Nathan looked down at his feet. "I thought it would hurt you."

Marissa looked at him sadly. "Hurt me? What hurt me more most is that I'm your friend and you didn't tell me. Does Haley know we were friends?"

He shook his head.

"Does she know we still talk to each other?" Marissa asked.

There was no response.

"What about Luke? Does he know?"

Nothing again.

Marissa sighed. "Okay then,." she looked at him. He looked ashamed.

"Fine," she took his hand and took him over to the bench and sat him down. "Wanna tell me what's going on? Last time you has this look on your face you had just broken your parent's bedroom window while playing basketball." Marissa tried to catch his eye. But he kept looking away.

Finally she took a firm grip on his hand and held his face to make him stop. "Nathan, look at me. What happened? Why did you and Haley get married? Why aren't you together anymore?" she looked him in the eye.

He looked at her and was quiet for a moment. :Remember when I told you that Lucas came onto the basketball team?"

Marissa nodded.

"Well, of course I was pissed. So I wanted to get back at him by using Haley. So I got her to tutor me."

Marissa laughed. "Bet that was hard."

He gave her a cold look. "It was. So anyway time went by and we got together. And then some things happened and I asked her to marry me. And there you go."

Marissa let go of his face. But still held onto his hand. "Why are you split then?" she asked.

Nathan looked as though he was dreading to talk about it. "We got married last year when we were juniors. Everything was going good . . .well . . It was kind of strained, but then this guy came into the picture. Chris Keller. He was a musician. You see Haley is a really good singer. So she began working with him. I didn't really trust the guy and really didn't like him. Then he asked her to go with him on tour. Actually he kissed her then asked her to go on tour. But she didn't tell me that. But she said no cause she had a husband. And then some time went by and her sister Taylor came to stay with us. And then Haley found out that Taylor was my first and she was pissed about it. Which made the marriage even more messed up."

"Taylor? You lost your virginity to Taylor?" Marissa looked shocked.

Nathan rolled his eyes. "Anyway, Chris came back and again asked Haley to go on tour. She told me and I said if she went then we would be over. And much to my dismay she left."

Marissa could see the hurt in his eyes. "That's when it all came down." he continued. "Later I realized she didn't want to come home. So I ended up crashing a racecar . . . Intentionally. The when she wanted to come home I told her not to. And so I signed annulment papers. And so did she. And that's about it. Oh and recently I sent them in." when he finished he looked up at Marissa.

She had tears in her yes. All of the sudden she let go of his hand and flung her arms around his neck. "Oh my god Nathan I had no idea."

Nathan laughed. "It's alright. We're just friends now."

Marissa let go of him and slapped his arm. "That's still not a reason to tell me! I told you everything! All about Ryan. My parents, Seth and Summer's affairs and everything else!"

He smiled fondly. "You are a good friend. And besides I've told you everything. Except all the Haley stuff."

She gave him a dirty look. "Yeah that's all the juicy stuff. No offense to Luke, Brooke, Peyton, your parents and everybody else." she looked at him happily. "Still things were happier when we were younger. Remember that one time when we went down to the river and you turned into a killer. Cause you killed that pretty butterfly."

Nathan burst out laughing. "And you started crying so I told you it would come back as a prettier butterfly. And then . . . I kissed you."

Marissa turned slightly pink. "Oh I forgot about that . . .maybe not. Anyway we were like 11. It was during one of the summer's I came over here. I had to hang out with you secretly cause Haley and Lucas couldn't find out. I felt really bad about doing that. Since they both hated you. I finally meet you when we were about 9. Of course I hated you but you grew on me a week later. And the rest is history" she said smiling. "But the funny thing was is that you knew I was a friend of Luke's but you still hung out with me anyway."

Nathan nodded. "Maybe that's why when me and Haley were together I got over the fact that Lucas was her best friend."

Marissa took his hand again. "I'm proud of you Nathan. You've come a long way from that boy I wanted to marry."

"You thought you were going to marry me?"

"Yes! I always thought you were extremely cute. I always tries to imagine my name. Marissa Scott. Then I decided to keep my name. Marissa Cooper Scott. Like my mom." she giggled.

Just then Nathan's phone rang. It was Haley.

"I wonder why she's calling me." he picked it up. "Hello?

"Where did you go?" she asked on the other line.

He hade to make up an excuse. "Oh, sorry I had to bail. I'm really tried. I was up all night."

Haley blushed. "Oh yeah, sorry about that.. By the way. Marissa is gone too. Ryan said that she was tired from the flight. So if you see her waking pick her up. She might get lost. It's been awhile since she's been here."

Nathan glanced at Marissa. "Okay sure. Uh I got to go some guy is honking at me. Talk to you later okay?"

"Sure bye."

He hung up. "If I see you I'm supposed to pick you up and take you home. So . . . You still leave where you used to?" he asked beckoning her toward his car.

She nodded. "Yup exactly 2 houses down from where you live."

Nathan grinned at her. "Oh this is gonna be like when we were kids."
